Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a reduction in total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, increase in HDL-cholesterol, decrease in fasting glucose and insulinemia, and reduction in C-reactive protein, evaluated by biochemical tests at the beginning and at the end of the study, after finding a statistically significant variation (p-value less than 0.05).;Reduction in lipoperoxidation measurement and improvement in total antioxidant capacity assessed by blood tests before and after 30 days of supplementation, after finding a statistically significant variation (p-value less than 0.05).;Reduction in body mass index and waist circumference assessed by weight and height and waist circumference measurements, respectively, at the beginning and end of the study, after finding a statistically significant variation(p-value less than 0.05).;Reduction in body fat percentage, analyzed by bioelectrical impedance before and after thirty days of supplementation, after finding a statistically significant variation (p-value less than 0.05).;Systolic and diastolic blood pressure reduction, assessed through manual sphygmomanometer calibrated and validated by the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (INMETRO), using cuff suitable for arm circumferenc. The average value of three measurements will be considered. Measurements will be performed before and after the intervention and the expected reduction will be considered based on the finding of a statistically significant variation (p-value less than 0.05). | — |
